Abstract		U posljednih dvadeset godina opažamo intenzivni porast zanimanja za proučavanje i mjerjenje kvalitete života (Health-related quality of life-HRQOL) bolesnika sa kroničnim bolestima probavnog trakta. Pojam HRQOL proizlazi iz poznate i široke definicije zdravlja Svjetske zdravstvene organizacije (WHO), koja zdravlje opredjeljuje kao stanje potpunog tjelesnog, duševnog i socijalnog blagostanja, a ne samo kao odsutnost bolesti i invalidnosti. Praćenjem bolestnika sa kroničnim bolestima se je ustanovilo, da za ocjenu njihovog zdravstvenog stanja i uspješnosti terapije nisu dostatni samo objektivni klinički i laboratorijski parametri. Jako je važno bolestnikovo vlastito doživljavanje tegoba bolesti i utjecaj bolesti na kvaliteto života.In the past two decades, a grownig interest in the study and evaluation of the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of patients with chronic diseases has been noted. The term HRQOL insures from the well known and broad definition of health as given by the World health Organization (WHO), which defines health as a condition of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely as the absence of disease or disability. Following patients with the chronic diseases showed that an evaluation of the state of health and success of treatment requires more than just objective clinical and laboratory parameters. Extremely important is also the patients personal experiencing of his disease and the effect it has on the quality of his life.
